For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, ‘tis the season for horror, and tomorrow is Halloween, so how about a triple feature? First up is The Babadook (2014), an Australian psychological horror about a recently-widowed mother who becomes increasingly unhinged by the presence of evil spirits in her house. Having to deal with pure evil while caring for her neurodivergent son drives her to her mental limits. I would simply move out of the house, but hey, I don’t live in a horror movie. This is b far the best-known feature to date of director Jennifer Kent.
After that is A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), a Hong Kong wuxia tale of a tax collector who cannot find an inn for the night, and decides to shack up in a spooky temple instead. Oh no, it’s haunted! Cue the arrival of a bunch if spirits who want to unleash their wrath on the living. Luckily, a swordsman is there to kick some monster butt. Director is Tony Ching Siu-Tung, who also did Duel to the Death (1983), which we recently watched. This is considered one of the better wuxia films of the 80s, so let’s check it out.
Last is Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998), the first, and best-regarded, of the direct-to-video Scoob movies. The gang goes to a spooky bayou island to investigate a pirate’s ghost, but they come across a horde of zombies instead. They’re not real, right? It’s Scooby-Doo; you know the drill.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
